First year keeper league, I've secured the first First and Tenth picks in a 10-team league. My next pick is 20th overall.

6x6 - Triples, Quality Starts (and OBP instead of Avg)

I'm enamored with the idea of locking up the best hitter and pitcher for the next three years. Am I reaching too soon? MDP shows that I could have Hamilton, Howard, or Tex at the 10-spot instead of the Freak.

Your thoughts?

Too soon, build your offense.

i think you would better off if you went hanley then teix. lincecum is a stud but would be a reach at 10.

If taking Lincecum would clearly lock up the best pitcher for three years I'd consider it... but I think that's a pretty strong assumption. He is clearly better than Santana or Liriano or...? Sure he might be, but that's far from guaranteed in my mind. Personally I wouldn't take him over Santana (unless there is a major salary issue you are not mentioning). So I agree with the previous post. I would build an offense first with a 25-27 year old stud.

Please help with mine:
